So you say mating isn't breeding? LOL

"mating n : the act of pairing a male and female for reproductive purposes;"

Artificial insemination, fish laying eggs, etc. It is all mating. In other words breeding.

I don't know what alternate reality you're living in, I'm guessing superglue. But I'm pretty sure that the reason you won't point the error in my way without me agreeing to something that you know I won't agree to is because you don't have any evidence on your side, and the only way to mask that is to say you'll do it - but make it conditional on something you know won't happen.

You have the record. All you have to do is go back and check. If you are so sure you are right, why don't you check the record and take me up on my challenge? You know that I am correct and that you are a liar. I can easily prove it and you know it. Take me up on my challenge. All you have to lose is your soul : ) Christians used to give this challenged to Jews and Heathens all the time. Muslims still do : ) I am just following a time honored tradition : )

Mating is not breeding! Mating is often the cause or method of breeding, but not all breeding requires mating and not all mating causes breeding! That's why they are different words with different definitions! And look at the definition you quote above: "The act of pairing a male and female for reproductive purposes" - it doesn't say anything about whether the reproductive purposes were successful, only that the two were put together in hopes that they would mate or that they did mate. It says nothing of whether the arrangement worked to produce offspring. It goes back to the horse and the panda - you well may be able to get them to mate but you cannot breed them.

Artificial insemination, fish laying eggs, etc. It is all mating. In other words breeding.

I notice that you didn't show any source for your idea that says that artificial insemination is mating! If you can't read the two dictionary definitions and see that mating is an act or pairing regardless of outcome, and breeding is the causing of an outcome, it is no wonder simple stuff confuses you so efficiently.

You have the record. All you have to do is go back and check. If you are so sure you are right, why don't you check the record and take me up on my challenge? You know that I am correct and that you are a liar. I can easily prove it and you know it.

Again, here you are accusing me of being a liar. If you can so easily prove it, please do so!

Are you on any medications that are reasonably likely to be interfering with your thinking capabilities? I can't imaging why else you'd have such a hard time understanding stuff.

Thanks,
